Possible Tick Weaponzation

25 posts in this topic

in todays Cape Cod Times they wrote an article on a book written by Kris Newby's called [Bitten ] where she investigates the tick borne diseases she says are not just a natural occurrence, but phenomena borne in a bio weapons laboratory. A very interesting analogy for sure and it might very well have some legs to it . It seems that last week the USHouse of Representatives passed an bipartisan amendment that directs the Inspector general of the Department of Defense to determine whether a biological weapons program enhanced the disease -carrying capabilities of ticks from 1950 to 1975 and whether any accidental or intentional release of infected ticks or pathogens occurred. You will need to read the whole article , it may well open a few eyes about the ticks that have left there mark in some of us who were bitten by an infected tick

I thought everybody already knew about these government made/modified ticks. And don't forget the deadly mosquitoes they made too! I can't believe more people in the world aren't going NUTS over this. I think the masses are still just too ignorant about it.

Believe it or not, I was on the island, maybe ten years ago. I was part of a group of fort enthusiasts who got permission to hike the grounds, which include an old coast artillery fort from the late 1890s to early 1900s, plus some WW 2 installations. However the lab itself was completely off limits and we had to be escorted everywhere. The fort is on the other side of the island from the lab facility. Saw some strange stuff, including gun magazines that looked like they were used for animal stables as part of their research plus some livestock corrals. That's about all they would tell us or show us. But no mad scientists running around with syringes or anything.

It was then and is still now run by the Dept of Homeland Security. There have been many rumors over the years that it would be de-commissioned and the land sold to developers, but it's still in the hands of the Plum Island Animal Disease Center as far as I know.

Read the book" Plum Island", talks some about the facility,but is a great thriller. I fish off the island on occasion and back an while ago if you get to close to shore you will see jeeps with guys and binoculars watching your every move. The lab is a bizarre building with tons of small stacks that create a negative environment in the facility. All air that leaves has to be processed.

I never saw a deer tick on the Cape growing up. Only dog ticks. The last few years before moving away, I rarely found a dog tick on any ofnour dogs--all deer ticks.

It was a rare summer day when I was a kid that we didn't play in tall grass over our heads. Both we and our dogs got tick checks every afternoon. I can almost guarantee you every one was a wood tick or "dog tick" as we called them. Never saw a deer tick with that weird red collar. But now when I'm sitting in those same fields, almost every tick I see is a deer tick.

Ive read extensively about this over the years. This theory was first floated out there about 25 years ago, based around the super secret govt research lab on Plum Island, Conn.

Ticks were fairly uncommon back then, and Lyme disease was unheard of. Out of the blue, this mysterious disease began making peopke ill. Only the people of Lyme Conn. Hence the name, Lyme Disease.

Many feel ticks and Lyme Disease were a govt military project gone wrong. Interesting this story is gaining traction again.

Bob, Plum Island is in NY. I have read the Lyme disease was first mentioned in the medical literature around 1920. t wasn't only the people from Lyme CT who contracted it. lots of people in CT ad NY contracted it. Useless factoid, the main carrier of "deer Ticks" is the white footed mouse.

"Ticks and Lyme disease have been around for thousands of years. In fact, a recent autopsy on a 5,300-year-old mummy indicated the presence of the bacteria which causes Lyme disease. A German physician, Alfred Buchwald, first described the chronic skin rash, or erythem'a migrans, of what is now known to be Lyme disease more than 130 years ago. However, Lyme disease was only recognized in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s."
